The recent defection of Anthony Watmough has highlighted the increasing number of NRL rivals hoping some of the famous Sea Eagles winning culture might rub off on their own teams.
Aside from Watmough, who will line up with the Eels in 2015, other former Manly premiership winners who are now with other teams include:
Brent Kite, Panthers
Glenn Stewart, Souths
Glenn Hall, Cowboys
Heath L'Estrange, St George
George Rose, St George
Will Hopoate, Parramatta
Tony Williams, Bulldogs
Five of those players have State of Origin experience, while Stewart and Kite are both former Clive Churchill Medal winners for the Sea Eagles.
